Chapter 0887: The Yellow Dragon’s Crisis

“It’s better not to inform Lord Chi Rong for now. If I capture this kid myself and present him, my merit will be even greater!” thought Ancestral Illusion Light.
Immediately, flashes of light appeared all over his body, coming and going, making his entire figure appear like a phantom.
The ultimate skill Ancestral Illusion Light used was the enchanting art of the Illusionary World.
Among the three thousand great worlds, each had its own fundamental laws, and the mysteries and powers of each world’s ultimate skills varied greatly.
When Ancestral Illusion Light used this enchanting art, the space around him seemed to become distorted, like shadows and mist, allowing him to move even faster.
Yellow Dragon sensed from ahead that Ancestral Illusion Light’s speed was increasing as he closed in, and he was shocked.
“What should I do?! With this Six Phases Demon Art, I can only hold out for a little over an hour. After that, my strength will drop to the late stage of three eras, and I’ll enter a period of weakness. If this continues, I’ll eventually fall into Ancestral Illusion Light’s hands!” Yellow Dragon was anxious.
The Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, two great divine artifacts, kept operating the grand array, infusing Yellow Dragon with vital energy, thus increasing his speed. However, with these two artifacts running at full capacity, they consumed an astonishing amount of spiritual veins.
Yellow Dragon estimated that in just one hour, the two artifacts would deplete one first-class spiritual vein!
He wasn’t worried about losing first-class spiritual veins—there were plenty of them on him—but the problem was that this approach wasn’t sustainable. Ancestral Illusion Light was getting closer by the moment!
At most, it would take another hour for Ancestral Illusion Light to catch up to Yellow Dragon—maybe even less!
What to do?!
Yellow Dragon’s mind raced, but he couldn’t think of any other solution.
Right now, his escape route was the Chaos Abyss!
If he could reach the central area of the Chaos Abyss, he might have a chance to get rid of Ancestral Illusion Light. But at his current speed, it would take at least ten days or half a month to enter the Chaos Abyss.
“I’ll risk it! I’ll refine the divine bodies of those four era-powerful warriors to see if I can break through to the fourth era. If I can reach that level, I won’t fear Ancestral Illusion Light anymore!” Yellow Dragon made up his mind.
Refine the divine bodies of those four era-powerful warriors he had killed earlier!
“Emperor Bell, help me!” Yellow Dragon shouted after making up his mind.
“Sure!” Emperor Bell rushed into the center of the Sacred Cauldron array and, together with Yellow Dragon, activated the array at full strength. Instantly, countless sub-arrays began to operate at the center of the Sacred Cauldron array. The divine bodies of those four era-powerful warriors emitted brilliant lights before entering Yellow Dragon’s body.
Yellow Dragon’s aura began to grow stronger by the moment.

“Huh?! What’s going on?!” The Pursuing Ancestor of Illusory Light immediately noticed the anomaly with Yellow Dragon. His eyes narrowed: “He actually wants to refine the Divine Body of the Golden Lion King?! Doesn’t he fear that his own life force and energy won’t be able to merge with it, causing it to explode?!”
The Ancestor of Illusory Light’s expression changed.
The four era-powerhouses that Yellow Dragon had killed earlier were actually another King under the Ancestor of Illusory Light—the Golden Lion King. This Golden Lion King was even stronger than the Purple Dragon King, having reached nearly the peak of the later stages of those four eras.
“No, he actually managed to fully merge his own life force and energy with the Divine Body of the Golden Lion King?! How is that possible?!” Then, the Ancestor of Illusory Light realized the problem.
“Could it be that the other sacred artifact he possesses is a cauldron?! Yes, it must be a cauldron! Is it the Qiankun Cauldron from the PanGu World? Or perhaps the Taiyi Divine Furnace from the Xuanhuang World?!” the Ancestor of Illusory Light thought to himself.
The Qiankun Cauldron was one of PanGu’s most precious treasures. During the great war between the Witch Tribe and the Demon Tribe, the sky was shattered, and it was Nüwa who used the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Five-Colored Divine Stones to mend the sky.
Without the Qiankun Cauldron, Nüwa wouldn’t have been able to restore the Five-Colored Divine Stones to their original state!
The Qiankun Cauldron ranked 48th!
As for the Taiyi Divine Furnace, it was the most precious treasure of the Xuanhuang World—the cauldron used by the Holy Lord of Xuanhuang for alchemy—and ranked 22nd!
“Great, great! Whether it’s the Qiankun Cauldron, the Taiyi Divine Furnace, or some other divine cauldron, offering it to the Holy Lord will bring even greater merits!” The Ancestor of Illusory Light was overjoyed.
Divine artifacts of the Great Path, especially cauldrons, were rare and extremely powerful.
For a sect disciple to improve their strength, divine pills were indispensable!
In battles between factions, divine artifacts were essential!
Yet, both divine pills and divine artifacts were crafted using divine cauldrons.
The value of such divine cauldrons was evident—among the top 100 sacred artifacts of the Great Path, there were no more than ten divine cauldrons! Each one was coveted by all the saints.
With a sacred artifact of the Great Path, one could refine divine pills of the Great Path!
With divine pills of the Great Path, one could continuously cultivate batch after batch of powerful warriors!
“Hahaha! Now I realize just how great my fate truly is!” the Ancestor of Illusory Light laughed loudly. “Young man, you want to refine the Divine Body of the Golden Lion King and break through those four eras?! I think you’d better stop struggling—there’s no way you’ll succeed!” With that, his entire body was engulfed in a flame-like glow.
Once his body was covered in that flaming light, his speed doubled once again!
“Hiss!” “Hiss!”
Wherever the Ancestor of Illusory Light passed, the air currents were instantly vaporized.

“Huh? How is that possible? The speed of this Illusion Light Ancestor has suddenly doubled! The Scarlet Blood Elixir! It’s actually the Scarlet Blood Elixir! This Illusion Light Ancestor has swallowed it—how could he possess such an elixir?” Huang Long sensed something unusual behind him and turned to look, only to be shocked.

The Scarlet Blood Elixir, a Divine Elixir of the Great Path, ranked seventeenth!

This kind of Divine Elixir of the Great Path, once consumed, wasn’t used for cultivation or enhancing strength but to unleash the greatest power within a person, allowing their strength to soar in a short time!

However, once the effects of the Scarlet Blood Elixir wore off, it caused severe damage to the user’s cultivation and soul—far greater than the damage from techniques like the Six Phases Demon Art!

“Haha, kid, you didn’t expect this, did you? Years ago, I made great contributions, and the Holy Lord ordered me to rule a region of the universe and bestowed upon me a Scarlet Blood Elixir! I never dared to swallow it until now. For killing you, what does this elixir even matter?” The Illusion Light Ancestor rushed toward Huang Long instantly, his eyes blood-red, glowing with joy, excitement, and murderous intent.

He was getting closer!

Just a little more, and he could launch an attack!

At the thought of killing the opponent and seizing those two sacred Divine Weapons of the Great Path, the Illusion Light Ancestor’s breathing became rapid.

“It’s a pity my soul bears a mark planted by the Holy Lord, binding me to others. Otherwise, with these two sacred Divine Weapons of the Great Path, my strength would keep growing. With such power, wouldn’t the entire world be at my mercy?!” the Illusion Light Ancestor thought to himself.

Just as the Illusion Light Ancestor was about to catch up with Huang Long, suddenly Huang Long vanished, and a giant cauldron appeared before him. Chaotic energy of the Primordial Void flowed within the cauldron, and three thousand Primordial Divine Beasts roared in unison, their voices reaching billions of miles away, shaking the soul in the Illusion Light Ancestor’s mind.
